I Wonder...

Apparently research shows that men who have index fingers longer than their ring fingers are less prone to prostate cancer. This may be because the longer finger develops in the womb as a result of the amount of testosterone the foetus is subjected to. Less testosterone = longer index finger = less prostate cancer.

I thought I was an expert on Vincent's hands, but this one detail I have found it difficult to confirm.



What do you think? How does the length of the fingers compare? And do we really believe that, if his index finger is longer than his ring finger, Vincent received less exposure to testosterone?

    I'd need to 'examine the evidence' - in person! :0)

  2. I have observed that his index finger IS longer than his ring finger. I've also observed that this is pretty unusual for a man; most men's ring fingers are longer than their index fingers. Women are the opposite: their index fingers are usually longer than their ring fingers. Maybe that's why he has such a special connection with women. He instinctively knows what we like. But then, we've always known he was extremely special!

  3. I spent the last five minutes, moving my hand back and forth, around and around, trying to figure out which finger's longer. I love his odd fingers.

  5. Are we looking at his left hand or his right hand? On my right hand, the ring finger is longer than the index finger. On my left hand, the index finger is longer than the ring finger. But I'm right-handed. Hmmmmm. Regardless, I am pretty certain Vincent has more than enough testosterone to make ANYONE happy!

  6. I watch his stubble and I think he has enough testosterone! Concerning his fingers : I don't know. But the pic you chose is wonderful!

  7. Interesting, Snark! I've never known anyone who had the different length fingers on different hands. You are indeed special as well! And I totally agree with you about the testosterone!
